Mary Ann Carroll, professor emeritus, Clarks Summit, died peacefully Wednesday morning at Regional Hospital of Scranton. Her first husband was Joseph M. Butler Jr., who died in 1968, and she later was married to Eugene R. Carroll, who died in 2012.

Prior to retirement, she was employed for many years at Keystone College, where she was the founder and coordinator of the Hospitality Management program. She always treated her students as one of her own children, touching the lives of each with her enthusiasm. She was a woman of dignity and grace and a perfect example of a mother. She held degrees from both the University of Scranton and Marywood College, and as a dietician, taught nutrition as a senior professor at NEIU and as a teaching dietician at Mercy Hospital.

She was a member of the American Dietetic Association, served on the board of directors of the International CHRIE and was a charter member of HEMAR, serving as the president from 1992 to 1993. She was an evaluation team member of the Middle States Accreditation, a member of Pennsylvania Restaurant Association, the Northwestern Pennsylvania Restaurant Association and the American Culinary Federation.
